Glad for the Sterling fans.  BH is so arrogant when dealing with Baytown.  

Great win.   One more win and they make the playoffs. 

PAM wins the district and everyone one else fighting for their life to make the playoffs.

Most uninspired game by BH I’ve seen in many years! BH Middle School South would rock the Eagles tonight! Maybe they are just trying not to show anything, and if so, they are doing a stellar job! Geez!!

Well that's one way of getting PAM to let their guard down. Taking a loss to Sterling the week before! 😂😂😂

Might be most embarrassing loss in BH history. Congrats to Sterling, they took it to the Eagles. This new coach might not last long having this kind of result. That Sterling backfield looked good.

First off congrats to Sterling they came in and played hard. They have to be pumped.
 

BH this was embarrassing to say the least, Coaches and players did not come to win tonight. By the time the coaching staff remembered that we have more receivers than Morton the game was over. Almost stole the game towards the end, but we didn’t deserve to. Good luck with PAM next week , I’ll be in the basketball forum if you need me.

An absolutely stunning result..Barbers Hill was a 31-point favorite according to our computer projections

Just shows computer projections and rankings are meaningless.

I think you guys need to reboot the computer(s).  Also had Hardin as a 2 point underdog to East Chambers tonight.

Obviously, my comment was sarcasm! I agree with BHFan…from top down, BH was unprepared mentally and got totally manhandled and outcoached! I wished we could have pulled it out, but BH didn’t earn it, sterling did!

we couldn’t tackle, couldn’t get much pressure on the qb, couldn’t catch a damn cold, and our backs tripped over the painted lines, ad nauseum!

Now we gotta regroup and bust our butts to get ready for PAM!
